Group homestays in North Wales

North Wales

North Wales is the northernmost unofficial region of Wales. the largest towns in the region are Wrexham, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Bangor.

Harlech Castle is a medieval fortification constructed on top of a hill close to the Irish Sea. The castle was left in ruins after the English Civil War, but underwent extensive restoration after the First World War. It is now considered one of the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th century military architecture in Europe, and is now a major tourist attraction.

Portmeirion is a tourist village in Gwynedd. It was designed and built in the style of an Italian village, and is now owned by a charitable trust. The design of the town was in order to pay tribute to the atmosphere of the Mediterranean.

Caernarfon Castle is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd. Its architecture is distinctly different from other Edward I castles that line the North Welsh coast in that the towers are polygonal and straight rather than round. This makes it very unique for the period and heightens its interest with tourists.

Conwy Castle is a medieval fortification in Conwy. It contains best preserved suite of medieval private royal chambers in England and Wales. Today the castle is a popular tourist attraction.

Bodnant Garden is a National Trust property near Tal-y-Cafn, in the county borough of Conwy, overlooking the Conwy Valley towards the Carneddau mountains. The garden spans 80 acres of hillside and includes formal Italianate Terraces, informal Shrub Borders containing plants from around the world. It is famous for its Laburnum Arch, the longest in the UK, which flowers in May and June.

Swallow Falls is a name given to Rhaeadr Ewynnol (English: Foaming Waterfall) by tourists. it is a multiple waterfall system in Wales, located on the Afon Llugwy near Betws-y-Coed and is very popular with tourists as it is considered an area of outstanding natural beauty.

“Having worked with them since 2013, I can state that London Homestays have always taken care to match our students with suitable host families. They have a very friendly yet professional approach to their work. Our students have enjoyed staying at their homestays. Overall, students say that their host families are attentive and welcoming.”

Carl Roberton, Principal, Stafford House School of English

“We at Burlington School have worked with London Homestays since 2014, and I professionally know the team since 2009 when I worked for another company in the education and accommodation industry. Having had the opportunity to work with London Homestays since the company started operations in London, all of the enquiries have been dealt with in a dedicated and timely manner, the team members are customer-oriented and always provide an exceptional accommodation experience to our students. I have no hesitation to recommend London Homestays as excellent accommodation providers and business partners.”

Eliane Tomasi, Accommodation & Welfare Officer, Burlington School

“LSC Stanton has been working with London Homestays since 2011 and we are very pleased with the quality of accommodation and service they give to us. We have a good relationship with the team and they are always on hand to deal with any last-minute requests.”

Nick Bray, Managing Director, London Study Centre.

“Cooperation with London Homestays is always great! We highly appreciate proactive approach and effort to ensure the best possible services for our groups. We always had a great clean accommodation, friendly family and smart local organisers. Students of our groups were satisfied and they enjoyed staying in London very much. We would like to recommend this agency. The whole team is very kind.”

Miroslava Foltýnová, Owner, CK Bus Tours.

“We offer internships in London to European students and looked for a reliable partner to provide accommodation to our candidates. We have been very happy with the services provided by London Homestays, as have our candidates, as they have always received quickly information on families, the possibility to book a room in a short delay and also a good quality of families. I would recommend without any doubt this agency. The team is very professional, efficient and friendly :). We hope to send new trainees soon!”

Stéphanie Frassanito, Program Manager, Work Overseas

“Our school from the Czech Republic has had great experiences with London Homestays. They are one of the only hosting agencies who would accept our very young guests (under 12). The host families were generally welcoming, kind, and accommodating. The service provided by the coordinator Kate O’Connor and other admin staff is second to none.”

Kate Powers, Vice Principal for English Studies, Sunny Canadian International School

It was an amazing experience, I’ve found a new home where I feel as comfortable as I do in my own home!

Laura, student from France: Homestay booking in Zone 2

“When my children went off to university and got married, my husband and I were empty nesters rattling around. We have an empty bedroom and I quite enjoy keeping it fresh for new students who come to stay with us both short and long term. Invariably, they show us a lot of respect. Coming to London to study or to work as interns is a big adventure for them and I enjoy settling them in and seeing them flourish. Some return or recommend to their friends to come and stay with us. London Homestays are a great organisation to deal with – good at communicating and highly ethical.”

Cathy, Homestay host in Colindale, London

“My first student has just left to return home and I have thoroughly enjoyed hosting her. It has been a lovely experience for me to help her with her English and learn about her Japanese culture.

I was nervous and apprehensive at first but it was so worthwhile and I look forward to continue hosting in the future. It has given me a boost knowing that I can give someone an opportunity that they may not have been able to afford without using London Homestays”

My homestay host is a lovely lady, she was very helpful and genuine. London Homestays offer an excellent, fast service and quality accommodation. I would definitely recommend to my friends!
